Trump predicts: Colorado will be ‘taken over by migrants’ if I lose

By Sandy Fitzgerald  | Newsmax Former President Donald Trump warned Colorado voters Saturday that if he doesn't win their state in November, their state will be "taken over by migrants" and their governor, Democrat Jared Polis, will be "sent fleeing." "Colorado began the threat to democracy against me, where they tried to unconstitutionally remove me from the ballot," Trump said during his rally Saturday at the Central Wisconsin Airport in Mosinee, Wisc., which aired live on Newsmax and simulcast on the Newsmax2 online streaming platform. "I was the leading person in the whole country, leading everybody by a lot." The push was at the behest of Polis, but "many people in Colorado were absolutely angry," including Democrats and liberals, said Trump.  READ THE FULL STORY AT NEWSMA...

‘Happy’ Trump, composed Harris: How advisers want their candidate to act in Tuesday’s debate

By Ross O'keef | Washington Examiner Former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris are fine-tuning their approaches to Tuesday night’s presidential debate, which could have massive consequences for the presidential race. Their respective advisors are hoping they can embody specific molds on Tuesday, according to the New York Times: Harris as collected and presidential, and Trump as “happy” rather than vindictive, focusing on policy-based issues rather than personal attacks. Trump is facing high pressure for this debate given Harris’s rise in the polls since her takeover as Democratic nominee. The Republican candidate played an indirect role in forcing out President Joe Biden from the Democratic nominee position giv...

Hunter Biden says he pleaded guilty in $1.4M tax evasion case to ‘spare’ family from ‘embarrassment’

By Paul Bois | New York Post Hunter Biden pleaded guilty in his tax evasion case to “spare” his family from the “needless embarrassment” of having to go through a second trial — and endure even more evidence of his seedy behavior while hooked on drugs. The twice-convicted first son shocked a Los Angeles courtroom Thursday when he unexpectedly copped to an entire tax evasion case, which could land him behind bars for up to 17 years, as jury selection was about to start. “I will not subject my family to more pain, more invasions of privacy and needless embarrassment,” President Biden’s son said in a statement Thursday. “For all I have put them through over the years, I can spare them this, and so I have decided to plead guilty.” READ THE FULL STORY AT THE NEW YORK ...

Kamala Harris, Tim Walz promote false framing of JD Vance statement on shootings

By Paul Bois | Breitbart Kamala Harris and her VP pick Tim Walz pushed the false framing of Republican Sen. JD Vance’s statement on shootings despite the Associated Press (AP) engendering backlash earlier. The Associated Press ignited massive backlash on Thursday when it blatantly misquoted Republican vice presidential pick JD Vance on school shootings. Speaking at a rally in Phoenix, Arizona, Vance said he does not like that school shootings have become a “fact of life” while calling for better security. “If these psychos are going to go after our kids, we’ve got to be prepared for it,” Vance said. “We don’t have to like the reality that we live in, but it is the reality we live in. We’ve got to deal with it.” When the journalist asked Vance what the country could do to stop s...

Senate GOP bracing for last-minute leader bids — potentially by key Trump ally

By Julia Johnson | Fox News Senate Republicans have a feeling that the battle to succeed Minority Leader Mitch McConnell is just beginning and that more contenders will make last-minute bids for the role after the general election in November.  One name that continues to be tossed around is that of Steve Daines, R-Mont., head of the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC), who has notably refused to rule out the possibility of running for the top Senate GOP role.  A source with knowledge told Fox News Digital that earlier in the year, after McConnell's shock February announcement that he would not seek another term as leader, former President Trump shared with allies that he would like to see Daines run for the position.  READ THE FULL STOR...

Colorado’s 3rd District moved to ‘likely Republican’ by Cook Political

By BRIAN PORTER | Rocky Mountain Voice Colorado's 3rd District on the Western Slope is one of eight nationally to have received a ratings change from Cook Political. The seat is presently held by U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert, but is an open seat in the general election as Boebert vies for election in the 4th District. Democrat Adam Frisch and Republican Jeff Hurd are their parties' nominations for the 3rd District seat. Cook Political moved the seat from lean Republican to likely Republican, improving the chance Republicans will hold the seat in November. “Nothing is going right for Adam Frisch," said National Republican Congressional Committee spokeswoman Delanie Bomar. "While Frisch is floundering, momentum is on our side as Republicans are all hands on deck to send Jeff Hurd to ...

In Boulder, ballot measure seeking to close airport withdrawn amid FAA lawsuit to keep it open

By Tim Drugan | Boulder Reporting Lab Boulder’s 2024 local election just became much less contentious. Organizers with the ballot measure committee Airport Neighborhood Campaign announced Aug. 27 that they have withdrawn their controversial measure to decommission the Boulder Municipal Airport from the November ballot. A separate but related measure to redevelop the land into affordable housing, which had also qualified for the ballot, is also being withdrawn. It would have been the first time in the airport’s nearly 100-year history that voters decided whether to close the municipal airport. The measures were shaping up to be the most controversial local issues of this election season. READ THE FULL STORY AT THE BOULDER REPORTING LAB

Gray: The desperation at the heart of the Harris candidacy

By Freddy Gray, commentary | The Spectator She has been shamelessly presented to America and the world as an agent of change, even though she has no clear vision or agenda of her own. Barack Obama wrote The Audacity of Hope. The Kamala Harris story of 2024 could be called The Audacity of Desperation. Her brief candidacy has been an awesome display of chutzpah. With just weeks to go before the election, a panicked Democratic Party pushed aside their failing commander-in-chief and replaced him with Harris, the distinctly unpopular vice-president.

Trump predicts ‘1929-style depression’ if Kamala wins

By Jeff Poor | Breitbart Wednesday, during a town hall event that aired on FNC’s “Hannity,” former President Donald Trump, the Republican nominee for president, warned viewers about a repeat of the 1929 Great Depression if Vice President Kamala Harris, his Democrat opponent, wins. Partial transcript as follows: HANNITY: Here’s my point. She wants to raise corporate taxes, she wants to raise small business taxes, capital gain taxes, estate taxes, the international corporate minimum tax to the point where America won’t be competitive anymore and your tax cuts are about to expire in 2025. TRUMP: Yeah. READ THE FULL STORY AT BREITBART
